It was brought to my attention that an injection had a time and date stamp indicating that it was not injected in the proper sequence. The sample should have been injected after a bracketing standard, as indicated by the sample set but was time stamped before any of the other injections. has anyone seen this before?
Never observed sth like this.

How is the rest of the sequence?
any automatic time adjustments of the PC (by network) turned on?

what about the "inject immediate" function of the sample set? (never used this, so I'm not that familiar what it does and when it is used)
I don't know which setup you have (stand alone, enterprise, workgroup), but I saw this on our enterprise once, where we had some injections made in the year 1900.
This was caused by a wrong time on our server (which also synchronised all the other pc's).
After fixing this, we had some samples set which runned appearantly more than 100 years!

Update:

The sequence was not injected out of order. The lace went into buffering which caused the injections to get time stamped by the lace and not the server. unfortunately, the lace was set to the wrong time zone. Empower displays the time of the lace but with the wrong timezone listed for the time. We updated the time zone on the lace and all is well.

Thanks for the replies.
